Just stumbled across this and gosh I’m so inspired. Except I’d love to host a curry Club. Where you come and gorge on beautiful Indian curries or cook your way through am Indian cookbook. I reckon that would be quite fun. Keen to know your key learning from running this club. How did you get things going?
You can do something like this in your own home. Perhaps as a supper club.
Check with your local authority to get your kitchen registered and simply go for it. Try asking a few friends to bring a few of their friends to get a feel for it.
Loved reading this post Lynn. I miss the Clandestine Cake Club! I was a member in Manchester for several years and the meetings were brilliant. I’d love to see the CCC resurrected. Any chance of this? If it could happen without involving you in organising it?
Hello Debbie. Thank you for your kind words. In some ways I miss CCC too. I guess writing these stories, many from memory, help to keep it going.
You can of course set up your own cake/baking group without using the CCC name. A few groups did branch out choosing a name of their own. South Lake Texas and Sheffield come to mind.
I made a Bundt cake for my village bake sale, which inevitably didn’t come out if the tin properly so I smothered it in red icing and Maltesers and called it a Malteser Massacre! I’d add a photo but can’t seem to do that!
Oh no. You must have felt awful when the Bundt cake got stuck. That often happened to me too. Well done for bring it back to life with icing and Maltesers. Very creative.

Thanks for a good read and for the fun times
